Jeff Tilson ’69 relished participating with his 11-year-old grandson, Charlie Stanley. Both live in Columbus. “It’s great to do the classes with your grandchild, No. 1. No. 2, as a grandparent, it’s wonderful to interact with other alumni that you had never met before and reconnect with those you’ve met in the past.”
Jeff’s favorite assignment involved touring campus to find inspiration during the Writing Miami class.
“It was a hike in the Bishop Woods, using our thoughts and observations to create a poem,” Jeff said. “For a science major like me, that was quite interesting.”
Jeff and Charlie hope to return next year. Unfortunately, that will be Charlie’s last opportunity, but his grandpa might come back in two years with Charlie’s little brother, who is now 6 and eager to attend.
“So that could give me ultimately nine years total. God be willing, we should live and be well to enjoy all those times,” Jeff said.
